Syrupmasterz's art Reviews on Newgrounds

[I'm not familiar with traditional art and that makes me uncomfortable so I tried it out send help]

When you someone tells you to read 'a book' and you take their advice as literally as you can. :P

Not bad, not bad at all. I kinda dig the muted colour look and how your character is reading a book with just one hand. I'd mention that the legs are too short for the torso, but I'm pretty sure that was a stylistic choice rather than anything else.

Nice simple drawing and there's nothing wrong with that.
Keep up the practice and pencil crayons will never make you uncomfortable again. haha

Take 'er easy.

Oddlem responds:

Hey, "a book" is a scholarly and educational work of literature. lel
Thank you! And shoot, someone else pointed that out too. I really need to work on my proportions since I did not realize there was anything wrong with the legs until now. x: Definitely wasn't on purpose, since he's supposed to be a bit tall with long legs and a short torso. Whoops.

But yeah! I'll keep practising for sure, I do love working with pens (though it gets a bit annoying when half of my pens have a bunch of air bubbles lol).

[The Midnight Wandering]

DAAAAAAAAAAYUM!
Each character could be it's own image, but then you went and put 20+ into this badass rendition. Those clouds bordering the Mothership are also super well done and must have taken FOREVER to get right.

Metal Slug 3 has lots of charm, and so does this! :D
Great job mang!

funymony responds:

Those clouds were a pain! I put a lot of detail into the background only to have it covered up by a lot of stuff in the foreground. :D Your response makes it all worth it! THANK YOU!

[Pharmtasm and Injectoplasm]

Cool style you got goin' on here. :P

One question I gotta ask though is, how do you get such controlled and clean lineart?
Do you do it all in one go, don't use pressure sensitivity, or do you draw it all in small sections and then smooth it out?

Inquiring minds would like to know! (If it's not too much trouble, of course. haha)

Shenaniganza responds:

A lot of ctrl+z.

[Zombie Girl mubi]

Very rarely will you find a zombie that not only respects personal space, but wants it itself. :P

Not bad friend, not bad. :P

Pinkskadink responds:

Haha thanks friend :]

The TRUE finally boss of Gen 2. :P

I really like the way you have the nice muted background and then have the more cartoony Wooper with nice lighting, it really makes the whole thing pop and make it oddly intimidating yet adorable.

Great work!

FlumpyTripod responds:

Thank you very much

[The Call]

I really like how you shaded all the rocks and especially the background, so much so I might need to study this drawing later to learn some tricks.

Oh! The image as a whole is good too. That's a cool skull bike. :P

Enjoyyourlife8 responds:

Really really appreciate this, getting so happy of this kind of comments haha :D!
Hmm.. maybe I need to do a speeddrawing video soon to a new piece so maybe you can get a closer look how I working me forward :) But once again, fun to see you liked it :)

[Icey Landscape Redraw]

That's some substantial improvement!
With the image scaled down to fit onto the page the 2nd version almost looks photo realistic! :D

I really like the colorfulness of the first version, but I also really enjoy the contrast of the warm sunset and the cool snow of the second version. Althout I'd saw that the 2nd version has better composition and the little bear benefits from being bigger and getting more details.

Keep it up! :)

GavinWynford responds:

Awesome feedback thank you so much! Glad you think so:)

[Dorian's]

Not bad!
Do you draw shadows and highlights in flat colours and then blur them to get the colour transitions you want? Or do you use a different technique?

Just asking 'cuz I like the glowy effect you've got going on here. :P

dogdoujin responds:

Thanks! I used a few different layers here, some shading was done in flats and others were done with an airbrush/blur tool to make it look a little foggy.

[Crystal Kneecapp]

Cave Of The Cyrstal Knee-monchers. :P

In terms of postitioning and composition this looks super good, however one thing kinda stands out to me. (Keeping in mind I'm no expert on anatomy or anything, or what style you're goin' for...) Her legs just seem a wee-bit too long in relation to her torso and head.

Other than that, this is a fine piece you got going on here.
Keep it up! :D

Rocktopus64 responds:

Thank you very much!

Colleen is a really tall girl (she's 6 feet tall), and really skinny. Though thank you for the feedback; I'll make note of it for next time.

[[42] These Happy Days]

Come August I'll be begging for the cold embrace of Winter, Canadians don't do well in the heat...@_@

On an actually artistically relevant to this art piece note, really diggin' your wispy clouds at the top corners and the fade from the blue colours at the forefront to the pinkish purples towards the horizon. : D

Precipitation24 responds:

Thank you!!
